Do you warm up each day before you ride?
If so, what do you do to warm up?I take an easy run and then stretch myself out after I have warmed up a
bit. I am much more flexible then.

How keep in shape in season? Eating well and snowboarding as much as
I can.

How keep in shape for snowboarding out of season? Eating well,
cycling, hiking, climbing and playing lots and lots of pinball.

Do you ever get bummed out about your riding, and why? Oh yeah,
whenever I hit a tree. I get really bummed out.

How do you fix it? With stitches.

What safety equipt. do you wear, use for snowboarding? Hemlet,
goggles, sunscreen (yes I know it sounds silly, but sun damage at 10,000 +
feet really sucks)

Where have you traveled to lately that you like?
For snowboarding? I went to Monarch Snowcats this spring and had one of the
best days of my life on a snowboard.

Anything that not many people know about you that you would like to
share?
I want to be just like my 8 year old son when I grow up.

Encouraging words for beginners? I nearly broke my arm on my first
day. The day after was worse. It has been better after that. Every year my
riding has gotten better and better. I have met so many people and had so
many opportunities through involvement in this sport. My life is better
because of snowboarding. I know if you keep at it, yours will be too.
